In 1985 the Forest Service ceased planting, with only the private sector
continuing for an average of 1,800 ha/yr in the period 1986-1989. Considering
the total area planted, 30% was done by government and 70%
by the private sector [8]. Since 1974, the government is subsidizing 75%
of the estimated costs of planting for lands forested for the first time
(afforestation).
